錫安末後必為萬國的中心(A)

亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得到默示,有關猶大和耶路撒冷:

在末後的日子,

耶和華殿的山,

必被堅立,超乎眾山,

必被高舉,過於萬嶺;

萬國都要流歸這山。

必有多國的人前來,說:

“來吧!我們上耶和華的山,

登雅各 神的殿;

他必把他的道指教我們,

我們也必遵行他的路。”

因為訓誨必出於錫安,

耶和華的話必來自耶路撒冷。

他要在列國施行審判,

為多國的人斷定是非。

他們必把刀打成犁頭,把矛槍打成鐮刀。

這國不舉刀攻擊那國,

他們也不再學習戰爭。

雅各家啊,來吧!我們要在耶和華的光中行走!

一切偶像全被廢棄

耶和華啊!你離棄了你的子民雅各家,

是因為他們充滿了東方的迷信,

和占卜的人,像非利士人一樣,

並且與外族人擊掌交易。

他們的地滿了金銀,

他們的財寶沒有窮盡,

他們的地滿了馬匹,

他們的車輛也無數。

他們的地滿了偶像;

他們敬拜自己雙手所做的,

就是他們的指頭所做的。

卑賤人向偶像俯首,

尊貴人也降卑,

所以不可饒恕他們。

10 要進入巖洞,藏在泥土中;

躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。

11 到那日,眼目高傲的人必降卑,

性情驕傲的人也必俯首,

唯獨耶和華被高舉。

12 因為萬軍之耶和華必有一日,

要攻擊一切驕傲的、狂妄的,

和所有高抬自己的,

他們都要降卑。

13 又要攻擊黎巴嫩所有高大的香柏樹,

和巴珊所有的橡樹。

14 又攻擊所有的高山,

和所有的峻嶺;

15 攻擊每一個高臺,

和每一道堅固的城牆;

16 攻擊所有他施的船隻,

和所有美麗的船。

17 人的高傲必變為謙虛,

人的狂妄都必降為卑微,

在那日,唯獨耶和華被高舉。

18 偶像卻必全然消逝。

19 耶和華起來,使大地震動的時候,

人必進入石洞,

進入土穴,

躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。

20 到那日,人必把那些自己所做、

供自己敬拜的金偶像和銀偶像,

拋給田鼠和蝙蝠。

21 這樣,當耶和華起來,大地震動的時候,

他們就能進入磐石縫中和巖石隙裡,

躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。

22 你們不要倚靠世人,

他的鼻孔裡只有一口氣息,

他實在算得甚麼呢?

The Future House of God

The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

It shall come to pass in the latter days
    that the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
    and shall be raised above the hills;
and all the nations shall flow to it,
    and many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the house of the God of Jacob;
that he may teach us his ways
    and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
    and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations,
    and shall decide for many peoples;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
    and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
    neither shall they learn war any more.

Judgment Pronounced on Arrogance

O house of Jacob,
    come, let us walk
    in the light of the Lord.

For thou hast rejected thy people,
    the house of Jacob,
because they are full of diviners[a] from the east
    and of soothsayers like the Philistines,
    and they strike hands with foreigners.
Their land is filled with silver and gold,
    and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is filled with horses,
    and there is no end to their chariots.
Their land is filled with idols;
    they bow down to the work of their hands,
    to what their own fingers have made.
So man is humbled,
    and men are brought low—
    forgive them not!
10 Enter into the rock,
    and hide in the dust
from before the terror of the Lord,
    and from the glory of his majesty.
11 The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,
    and the pride of men shall be humbled;
and the Lord alone will be exalted
    in that day.

12 For the Lord of hosts has a day
    against all that is proud and lofty,
    against all that is lifted up and high;[b]
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon,
    lofty and lifted up;
    and against all the oaks of Bashan;
14 against all the high mountains,
    and against all the lofty hills;
15 against every high tower,
    and against every fortified wall;
16 against all the ships of Tarshish,
    and against all the beautiful craft.
17 And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
    and the pride of men shall be brought low;
    and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols shall utterly pass away.
19 And men shall enter the caves of the rocks
    and the holes of the ground,
from before the terror of the Lord,
    and from the glory of his majesty,
    when he rises to terrify the earth.

20 In that day men will cast forth
    their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
    to the moles and to the bats,
21 to enter the caverns of the rocks
    and the clefts of the cliffs,
from before the terror of the Lord,
    and from the glory of his majesty,
    when he rises to terrify the earth.
22 Turn away from man
    in whose nostrils is breath,
    for of what account is he?
